Bee Man Vs Stubborn Bees In Shed Floor

  • I had removed bees form this shed 2 years & one month ago. That colony was underneath the floor on the right side.This colony was on the front of the shed right by the front door under the plywood floor.
    This colony was more established with more numbers but the bees were very gentle requiring zero smoke to deal with.
    The queen was a stubborn one to say the least, even more stubborn than the floor was to open.
    The floor was screwed down, but several screws were countersunk whereby you couldn't tell they were even there.
    With perseverance I was able to do what needed to be done.
    It was in the 90's F when I began the job late Friday evening. Because the bees were underneath two different adjacent floor sections I ran out of time the first evening to pull all comb out.
    I began Part 2, day 2 the following day, Saturday at 6:40 am. The queen was super stubborn & forced me to leave the box on site until Sunday night.
    I went by Saturday evening to check the box to see if she had moved in & lo & behold she had, fantastic!
    I am a beekeeper & live bee removal specialist located within 10 miles of New Orleans, Louisiana.
    We have mild winters & bees thrive here & keep me busy approximately 10.5 months of the year.
    I will go just about anywhere to deal with bees but home base is southeast, Louisiana.
    The bee vac I helped test & design & highly recommend is the Colorado Bee Vac.
    HoneybGone is my preferred bee repellent manufactured by Blythewood Bee Company who also manufactures Swarm Commander, honey bee lure.

    I passed a swarm hanging out on a street sign the other day, and a crazy part of me thought, “I bet I can get those bees into a box. I’ve watched JP enough!” 🤣

    I used to be scared to death of bees growing up. Any kind of buzzing insect, I did not like. I still don't like most of them lol, but since watching your videos JP, I've really started to get over that fear. Just last thursday, I found myself sitting right next to a honey bee that was just out in the open and found I didn't even bat an eyelash. So thanks for helping my heart catch up to my brain. They really are amazing little creatures.

    This is why I like your videos Jeff. Most of the time, folks who are impatient would simply go in there with a bee vacuum and call it a day; Always in a hurry. But you my friend understand the importance of making a connection with the bees. I get you! Thanks as always for foolin' around in front of the camera. Keep 'em coming brother!! 🐝☮️☯️

    JP! First, no one does it like you. You are the gold standard (or perhaps i should say, honey-gold standard) for all beekeeping videos.
    Second, i found myself shouting at the screen several times during this video. Some of the shouts?
    "No, JP! Don't eat that honey! There were cockroaches in there!"
    "But JP! You can't walk away now! The bees in the box will think they're a split and they won't love the old queen anymore!"
    "Oh JP - you need to hydrate. You're exhausting yourself."
    "I see her! JP! Hold that comb over the box in case she falls off!"
    I was enthralled. Every single second, i was enthralled. And hubby enjoyed it too!
    Wonderful, wonderful video (as always).
    Thanks, JP. You're one in a billion.

    Love watching bees in your area (so gentle) instead of the Africanized bees we have here in Arizona. I wanted to be a bee keeper till I got stung by bees in my front yard simple as I walked passed them. They were guarding my pond (no hive involved) and I never allergic. I had to get rid of my pond and my dreams of bee keeping.

    Just wish I could keep bees again, used to do a little of what you do, I would collect the swarms and give them to my friends who had bees. But now all we have here is Africanized bees here in southeastern Arizona, unless you have an area out away from all people to keep the people safe. Maybe some day I will be able to move to an area that I can have them. One more thing, thank you for what you do as far as saving the bees because we need all we can get.

    Bees are the #1 MOST IMPORTANT living being on the Earth. 90% of the bees are gone. If we lose the bees we will only have 4 years to live. I'm so happy to see you doing this. I want to have a hive, but the old folks village is just across the driveway and the manager has told me they will likely not like the idea because they are afraid of being stung. I saw a flower pot hive on another channel and so I think I'll try that.
    I have a garden, but I don't see many bees around. I'm planting more and more flowers for the bees. Wish me luck. I hope it all works.
